Alpine CDM-7834 Car CD Player

Pros: Typical features, excellent durability
Cons: There are cheaper decks that are just as good

Let me start off by saying that I'm not entirely pleased with my Alpine CDM-7834. Now, this has nothing to do with the actual quality of the product, which certainly appears to be excellent. In fact, I've had this CD player for over a year now,...

Pros: Great features, Good Price
Cons: Trouble playing CD-RWs

If you are considering buying a new car stereo I highly recommend the Alpine CDM-7834.

Over two years ago I gave my local car audio store $250 dollars for this excellent stereo. Since that time it has given me back hours upon hours of...

Pros: CD Sound, ergonomics
Cons: Cheap feeling, single preouts

Even as the title may say, I'm not really disappointed in my Alpine 7834, it plays well and has decent features, but I have had better.

The pros about this head unit are the following:
*****

No Skipping - and I mean NO...

Pros: Great sound, small price
Cons: Sometimes CD gets stuck in deck.. Easy fix

The Alpine CD Deck 7833 is a great buy for a person with a budget that needs nice sound and long lasting performance. The controls are very easy to use so one does not need to wrestle through a long instruction guide. Just play with it a bit and you...

Pros: Great sound, doesn't skip, good power
Cons: Ugly looks, poor button placement

When I was searching for a car to replace my "temporarily disabled" CRX, it just so happens that I found another CRX for cheap. How convenient. It had high miles, and way too much rust, but I could afford it. I told the person selling it...

Pros: Great sound quality
Cons: It's possible to lose the detachable face (though I haven't done it yet)

Good

1.) This Stereo has two settings, Cd/Radio
2.) It saves 12 FM radio stations
3.) It has easy to learn Cd controls
4.) There are several displays, radio channel/time/Cd number/Cd minutes
5.) Detachable face<-...

Pros: Good Quality, Cheap
Cons: Not a big name YET

I own an Alpine CD player model CD-7834. It is install in my 1993 F-150 pickup. The Ford stock speakers are pretty good, but the original headunit was only a AM/FM with a tape deck. As soon as I installed the alpine head unit it sounded great. It was...

Pros: Rock solid reliability. Detachable Face Security works!
Cons: No ability to select different illumination to green.

I have owned my Alpine CDM-7834E deck for over a year. My wife bought it for me as a birthday gift and the entire family have gained many hours of enjoyment listening to music through it. I am very happy with its performance.

Our previous car...

Pros: Pretty green night lighting
Cons: Poor quality

I bought this CD player 2 years ago and it served me well for a year and a half. About 6 months ago, it decided not to play my cds anymore. The balancing springs are no longer working (when I load a cd, the player can't get a grip and can't balance the...

Pros: Good sound quality, nice display (LCD) coloring.
Cons: Button placement (cluttered), option settings.

First of all, I just bought a vehicle that has this Alpine Receiver 7834 in it.

I am pleased with the sound and quality, but very disappointed in the button placement (cluttered looking).

I also was very disappointed to learn that this receiver will not play ANY CDR or CDRW discs. It does not matter if they are colored, or plain CDs. Time to replace it!

Does anyone know where I can download a user's manual for this unit, please? Every link I seem to come across the document is no longer available.

Thanks.
